Outside the city of Jinan, Wang Guorui personally led the most elite guard division to surround the city of Jinan. Although Jinan City looks very large, but the army is very weak, if Wang Guorui wants to attack, don't look at the soldiers of the only more than 20,000 Guards Division, but it is completely possible to break through this Jinan City. Not only are the soldiers of the Guards Division composed of non-commissioned officers, but also the Red Guard soldiers account for a full one-third, and the other one-third are also composed of veterans among natural persons. And in the Guards Division, all officers can be ranked higher, which is enough to show their status.

And the artillery of the Guards Division is also the most powerful, other infantry divisions are only equipped with an artillery regiment, but the Guards Division is equipped with an artillery brigade. Not only artillery brigades, but even the latest tank units of the Guards Division have a reinforced battalion formation. As for the other technical arms, they are also the most elite and elite technical arms, so you can imagine their strength. And with such a strong strength, surrounding a Jinan city that no longer has too many elite protection, it is basically killing chickens with a knife, which seems to be a bit of a waste. However, in the face of the territory of Shandong Province, Wang Guorui had to pay attention to it.

In Jinan City, many ordinary officials are also jumping around, obviously not knowing what to do. In the face of Taiwan's "friendly forces" that suddenly surrounded their Shandong capital, Shandong officials, ordinary people, and soldiers were at a loss. So everyone also expects their Shandong governor Yuan Shikai to come up with a solution.

"What shall we do, Lord Governor?" Immediately, a master asked.

Yuan Shikai looked at the guard division outside, and he was also silent. I have been training for several years, but my Beiyang New Army has not had much effect at all, and it is obviously not as good as these soldiers of the Guards Division in front of me. This can also be seen from the temperament, and his new army is obviously not the opponent of these soldiers. And Yuan Shikai feels how unfair. Wang Guorui, a remote county town, is still a small county magistrate from an ordinary donor, and he can get the support of a force, and this force is obviously very pro-China. Now about the support of Wang Guorui behind him, this is already an open secret at the top of the world. However, the only thing that everyone can know is that this force is extremely pro-China, and perhaps there are many Chinese in this international force. However, everyone also knows that the members of this force come from various countries, and so far only Natasha and Tanya have been exposed. They are all from the United States and Russia, and even some soldiers under Wang Guorui, but they are all Chinese. This is enough to show that there are not a few Chinese in this organization, so it is normal for this organization to be pro-China.

Yuan Shikai felt a little unfair, because if he could get the support of this force, wouldn't he be able to do better than Wang Guorui? Yuan Shikai thinks that his ability is more powerful than Wang Guorui, and he is better than Wang Guorui in all aspects, but why can't others support him? So Yuan Shikai is called envy, jealousy and hatred for Wang Guorui! But. Now Yuan Shikai also knows that this is useless, and the important thing is to get through the current crisis.

"What are they asking for?" Yuan Shikai asked.

Someone immediately replied: "Lord Yuan, they ask you, in your capacity as the governor of Shandong in the Great Qing Dynasty, to order you to withdraw from the southeast mutual insurance and send a new army to Tianjin Qinwang together with the Taiwanese army." ”

When Yuan Shikai heard this, he immediately showed a wry smile, this Taiwan is really ruthless enough. The first one is actually a ruthless move. directly asked Yuan Shikai to withdraw from the Southeast Mutual Insurance Plan, and then sent troops to serve the king with the Taiwanese army. to fight against foreign invaders. Once they withdraw from the Southeast Mutual Insurance Plan, then the possibility of Shandong's neutrality will be completely gone, and they will be tied to Taiwan and then forced to fight together. As for sending their own new army to fight against the foreigners, let's not talk about whether they can defeat the foreigners, even if they defeat the foreigners, this army will not belong to them. Once the new army under his command cooperated with Taiwan's army, feelings developed. And Wang Guorui spends high salaries and various official positions to win over, how many soldiers under his command are willing to stay under him and not seek higher treatment?

At this time, Wang Guorui did not choose to stand on his own, and the advantage of being a country was highlighted, and he could completely accept a large number of mainland troops. And those mainland armies have no psychological pressure to betray the Qing court. Anyway, everyone is Chinese. Why fight to the death, why can't you choose to cooperate? As long as you choose to cooperate, you can join the Taiwan army and eat with the Taiwan army. The salaries of the officers and men of the Taiwan army are higher, and the officers are more promising, so everyone is willing to follow Taiwan to do things, anyway, everyone is the same country, and there is no treason!

However, this is not good news for Yuan Shikai. Once your new army becomes someone else's, isn't it just for someone else's wedding dress? Yuan Shikai has always hoped to use his new army as his political capital to gain benefits, but now he has been eaten casually, and his future may end here. So in this way, Yuan Shikai was also embarrassed in his heart, and expressed his helplessness about this.

"Lord Yuan, news has come from the Yellow River defense line, Wang Shizhen, Duan Qirui, and Feng Guozhang have given up the defense line, and the Taiwan army is already crossing the Yellow River. Generals Wang Shizhen, Duan Qirui, and Feng Guozhang jointly sent a telegram, saying that they had been easily attacked and captured alive by Taiwan's troops, so they had to order to get out of the way. Moreover, none of the soldiers under his command had the idea of continuing to fight, and they did not want the Chinese to fight the Chinese. I hope Lord Yuan, you don't blame them! ”

Yuan Shikai sighed and said, "I'm here, I can't protect myself, how can I blame them?" ”

"Gong Bao, we don't have an army here at the moment, our army has been sent to the Yellow River defense line, and we are currently here with some green battalions. These green battalion soldiers are useless, and I am afraid that most of them will flee in the face of the enemy's artillery. So, now that the Taiwanese army is approaching the city, what should we do? Xu Shichang asked.

"Brother Juren, let's listen to Wang Guorui's other conditions." Yuan Shikai said.

"Lord Yuan, our Lord Wang said that in addition to withdrawing from the Southeast Mutual Insurance, Shandong must also accept our administrative supervision in Taiwan. In the future, all administrative orders issued by various organs and governments in Shandong will be subject to the supervision and guidance of the Taiwan side. We in Taiwan will send supervisors to the governments at all levels in Shandong to supervise and guide various administrative affairs in Shandong, and to help the Shandong government set up a new government organization model in accordance with our Taiwan model and abandon the old outdated government organization model. In the future, Shandong will enter a new era with the help of Taiwan. ”

"Hahahaha......" Yuan Shikai laughed and said: "The new era is Wang Guorui's new era, right?" ”

This so-called administrative supervision, this is clearly here to override the Shandong government. If there are supervisors at all levels of government in Shandong, it means that all kinds of rights in Shandong will go into Taiwan's hands. What is the difference between this and the loss of power and humiliation of the country, but the loss of power is not facing foreigners, but people in their own country. In short, the original officials in Shandong will lose a large part of their rights, and those supervisors are the emperor sent by Taiwan, and all government affairs in Shandong must listen to them, otherwise Wang Guorui will not let them go.

This Taiwan clearly hopes to eat Shandong, and it is still swallowed by a whale, and it doesn't care about what looks ugly at all. At that time, Yuan Shikai lost his military power, and he also lost the power to lead Shandong, so it was clear that Yuan Shikai would be Wang Guorui's courtier. At that time, if Wang Guorui is willing to give him an official, then he can continue to be an official. But if Wang Guorui is unhappy with him, he can clean him up at any time and go home to sell sweet potatoes immediately. Yuan Shikai, as a hero, how could he pin his net worth and life on a person's joys, sorrows, and sorrows?

"Kung Pao, will we agree?" Xu Shichang asked.

"We, Lord Wang, said that now we are supporting Tianjin, and the time is urgent, we can only give you twenty-four hours to think about it. If you don't think it through within 24 hours, then our Taiwanese army will also attack the city. When the time comes, the lives will be miserable, although this is not what we in Taiwan want to see. So, I hope you can make the right choice to avoid the suffering of the people. ”

Yuan Shikai immediately asked, "Why are you attacking the city?" ”

"Counterinsurgency! We put down the rebellion for our Qing court, and not only did you not want to support when the court was in danger, but you actually signed a southeast mutual insurance treaty with a foreign country without authorization, which is really a betrayal of Chiguoguo. Souyi, our Lord Wang, took the place of the imperial court and carried out a counterinsurgency! ”

Yuan Shikai's heart is like 10,000 grass and mud horses passing by, if there is anyone who is the biggest traitor in China, then there is no second person except Wang Guorui. But now Wang Guorui actually wants to put down the rebellion for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how ironic this is! But sometimes that's the case, there is no excuse for the sin you want to add, as long as Wang Guorui is willing, then you can always find countless reasons.

So the excuse is not too important, the important thing is that people will attack, not a soft persimmon. Once people attack, I am afraid that Jinan will not be able to hold it at all, and Shandong will be lost to Wang Guorui at that time. Therefore, now Wang Guorui is an alliance under the city, and he will sign it if he doesn't sign it. People are strong, so what else can you do? (To be continued......)
